 Rockzilla.net Hank Cochran "Livin' For A Song" by Al Kunz
Cochran starts the disc the same way he started his singing career, working the gray area between country and '50s rock with a rocked-up version of the Hank Thompson hit "Wild Side of Life" (re-titled "Honky Tonk Angels" here).
The honky-tonk portion of this title foreshadows the rest of the disc that leans heavily toward cry-in-your-beer honky-tonk ballads and the smoother Ray Price-styled countrypolitan of "Something Unseen." Originally a hit in 1970 for Jack Greene, Cochran's wife Suzi suggested he cut this tune, one of her favorites, because of the great lyric.
In this twist on the stereotypical cheatin' song, the singer knows that something or someone is pulling his lover away from him "like a puppet on a string." He's not sure what the pull is, but concludes that cheatin' would be better than a vague desire for something better.
